ALC-Occupational Licensing Review Subcommittee

All right, colleagues, good afternoon. I see it's about 1:30. So if everyone wants to start settling in, we'll get ready to go. It should be pretty short, uh, meeting here, but we'll give everyone just a minute to get settled in and we'll get started. All right, let's go ahead and get going. So I'll call the organizational meeting of the occupational licensing Review subcommittee to, uh, to order, uh, looking forward to working with everyone this session as we, uh, go through this, uh, honored to have Senator Wallace as co-chair on the committee, uh, and I've already asked, and he's ready for us just to jump on into this, uh, of course, uh, Representative Allen will be our vice chair and uh Senator Flippo who is will pretend he's right there. be our vice chair on the Senate side. Um, so, um, just a couple of items of business we need to take care of. Uh, first is to adopt the draft rules. That's going to be item C in your, um, packet, uh, if everyone wants to take a quick look at those, uh, see if there's any questions or comments or concerns from the committee. OK, seeing none. OK, uh, without objection, we will consider those reviewed and adopted, um. Section D, exhibit D, these are the entities we will be reviewing, uh, this session. You can take a quick look through those. And again, without objection, we'll consider that reviewed and that will be our work that we will try to get uh accomplished, uh, last session, uh, last term, we actually, uh, uh, we're able to make some improvements and eliminate some unnecessary licensures and so hopefully we will continue to, to do that. Um, on the back of um. You're in the packet exhibit C. Um, if you'll look at the back there, um, all of the groups that are going to be coming before us. We've got these 10 questions that they're going to provide answers to. And so if everyone you can review those, if you've got any suggestions for any changes or any uh other information you would like for the presenters to, uh, make available to us if you will let us know, and then we can let them know as well. Um, we also have our timeline, which is exhibit E, uh, Senator. Uh, Wallace and I've looked at that and approved it, so there's your timeline if you want to go ahead and put that on your calendar. Um, just, just note that in August and September, we are going to be meeting twice um to make sure we get all the work done that we need to get done, uh, generally, we will be meeting on Thursdays during ALC week, uh, just for planning purposes. Yeah. And then again, without objection on the, uh, timeline, we will, um, Adopt that and move forward, and that'll be our tentative timeline. OK. Uh, and other than that, I do not have anything else. It was pretty short and sweet, um, anybody in the committee have anything before we get to wrap it up. OK, saying no, I, I, I, I, I, I wish I could say they would all be that short and sweet and succinct, but this is probably gonna be the shortest one we will do. So, uh, with that, uh, thank you all for being here and we are adjourned.
